It was Cinco de MayoPillow case on his head No more breathing time An ambulance spedSped 'round ever corner Calling out his name

Shot a rabbit from the back seat windowSat and watched the summer corn growAte ice cream in a desert dreamAnd got lost in father's singingToo hot insideToo hot outsideLazy days when I said let's go for a rideWe'd sail on Spirit LakeMe, my pappy, and his lemonade

Tim and Tina were my parents' namesThey got engagedThey were inflamedSeduced by the light of butterfliesHow they shimmer, how they glimmerThose butterflies

We seven kidsWe almost diedNearly put to deathBy lightening strikesInstead there was hot, pinkFlashes in the skyWe climbed the rocks, in snow and rainIn search of magic powersTo heal our mother's pain

Shot a rabbit from the backseat windowSat and watched the summer corn growAte icecream in a desert dreamAnd got lost in father's singingToo hot insideToo hot outsideLazy days when I said let's go for a rideWe'd sail on Spirit LakeMe, my pappy, and his lemonade

Shot a rabbit from the backseat windowSat and watched the summer corn growAte icecresm in a desert dreamAnd got lost in father's singingTo hot inside To hot outsideLazy days when I said let's go for a rideWe'd sail on Spirit LakeMe, my pappy, and his lemonade
